Was searching youtube looking for the dog story, since I haven't seen it yet, and found this instead: Amber asks Dustin if he's Jewish

What makes me angry, is that it was okay for Dick to verbally harrass and threaten two women on the show, but that didn't make it anywhere on the news; only some blogs. Personally I thought Dick should have been removed for pouring Ice Tea on Jen. I suspect the way they handled that situation might lead them to be forced to go the other direction this time.

I am not an Amber fan by ANY stretch of the imagination and I would love to see her get booted from the house... But man I do feel bad for her. Out of all the houseguests Amber has taken the worst personal beating of anyone in that house. She has a CHILD who has to hear these things said about her mother, and with Amber being as emotionally unstable as she is, I can't imagine she will deal with this well when she is out. She is now known for having abortions, lying about abortions, being a druggie (in the past) and hating Jews... She is in for a massive personal attack.. and I think it is sad that her daughter will have to bear the brunt of it, and I question how well she will handle it. I Know I know... it is all her own doing, she knew going into the house that all her words would be out there etc etc. She signed up for it etc etc. I get all that, but frankly I have heard past HG's say eventually you forget the cameras are there... All in all.. wether it is her own doing or not.. or what she signed up for.. I feel bad for her daughter... Big Time!

That's what I thought Chew. I think Fox should hear about Dick's comments. If Amber's going to get kicked out, Dick surely already should have been!

This has absolutely nothing to do with politics. They were racist remarks. It starts at the top.

What Amber said was racist and gross. I just do not see it as any worse than some of the things Eric and Dick have said this season, and a dozen or so other houseguests over the past 8 years. What makes this stand out is that people are jumping on it. Of course it is gross, of course it is not ok, but this is building to be something quite unfair to Amber. She is going to raked over the coals, yet Dustin and Eric and Dick are going to skate....

I think the point some are making is that yes, Dick and Eric have said some nasty things, but they did NOT attack race. That is a powder keg in today's world.

So what if Amber said some racists things...freedom of speech. I don't think that saying some ignorant remarks should get her evicted. If this is behavior that warrants an eviction, then Dick's Ice-Tea-Gate incident should warrant the same treatment. Beekindpleez: I wonder why Amber's sister does not address the comments allegedly made by Amber's "mother and sister"?

Best quote of the article was this: "Is this America? No. These are people whose lives are so pathetic and desperate that they want to be on TV 24 hours a day. Still, even giving this gang one hour is too much. They are empty souls, devoid of nearly anything remarkable other than their ability to cause revulsion."

I have no fear Amber will land on her feet and be fine when she leaves the house. Just from her sisters post I can see where it be spun in her favor by her family. It was all due to her anger at Eric for betraying her. She didn't really mean it. It was anger talking. Amazing enough she was able to have her rant before she even knew Eric was going to betray her. After all "I am goood person, you just don't know". Rinse and repeat until totally believable.

These are really some of the weakest house guests ever. They tell very personal things about themselves(on the internet) and become completely undone when it's repeated. Most stand by while others make derogatory comments about women ,Jews and blacks. Just reminding someone that they should be quiet is not calling a bigot out. In the real world most of them would not cosign many of the deeds done in the house maybe they should rethink it before they check all principles at the door.

She is going to raked over the coals, yet Dustin and Eric and Dick are going to skate.... I honestly hope you are wrong and they all get a wake up call on their behavior. BB has a history of casting a few "out there" characters each season. Will and his cancer story, Erika and her racist comments just to name two. But this year it seems they went all out and cast some real winners.@@ Dick= tea incident, all out bullying Dustin= his disgusting racist remarks Eric= Calling Zach child molester, well really more than Eric did this Amber= most everything that comes out of her mouth is shocking and wrong Nothing has been done! Maybe if they would act on this and boot Amber off the show. It would wake the rest up? Is it fair for Amber to be the only one to pay? No, but what in life is? And as for Ambers sister apology. All I have to say, is no sincere apology includes the word "but". JMO

Will's cancer story never really got started. It was just a plan he was hatching that was foiled by a banner plane before he really got it going. Plus, I don't think that's nearly in the same category as the other things addressed in this thread. JMHO.

I remember one time one of the houseguests in a past season argued that the feeds were not actually on 24 hours a day. If Amber has been as she said out of it for the last five years while on drugs, she might not be as much up on the show as some of the others. Maybe she really does not realize that 24/7 actually means 24/7. It is hard to believe anyone would be so dumb as to tell things like the abortion thing and then get so upset about Eric possibly using it to "ruin her life," if she realized it was already all over the internet, or to make such blantly racist remarks. Is this girl that stupid?

It was just a plan he was hatching Because his plan was foiled, that makes it right?My point is they cast some people that are willing to go to far. Just the idea that he was going to use something like that is wrong.

I have a question...if indeed Big Brother called Amber into the diary room last night to discuss the fact that her remarks had gotten out -- should they have? (Sorry I haven't figured out how to word that better.) I thought the point of staying in the BB house was to spend 24 hours a day shut off from the real world...if they admonished or warned her about her racist remarks isn't that game interference? The whole point is to let us see people at their very best and their very worst...warts and all! I truly hope that didn't tell Amber to censor herself. I think Amber is ignorant and hasn't been exposed to many people outside of her own small circle. I find that to be true of a lot of people. Yes, it is a form of racism and no, it is NOT right to do it, but most people who say things like Amber are ignorant, not malicious. Once they know better they do better. However, I don't think Amber's relationship with this particular Jewish boy will make her any more inclined to think kindly of the Jewish race.
